Denrele Edun’s X post has a verbatim quote of @Mautiin01’s previous comment, “If to say we don beat Derenle when he start this rubbish, dem Bobrisky no go get mind follow footsteps!” was accompanied by an image of Denrele in a long gold outfit, with a tall gele and beads. Denrele’s comment, “E Pele o! Mr Defender of the Universe against Denrele and ‘dem’ co,” is a textbook example of how a young person stands up to a bully. Edun continues by asserting his qualifications – a career of media since 1994 – and “I am a Media Practitioner of over 3 Decades of Experience, Expertise and Exposure.”

He jokes about the threat of violence with, “Onto the Beating part, I’ll let that go,” and says he can defend himself, saying, Don’t be fooled by the Heels and Hair, I’m a Black Belter and can hold my own anywhere!” He goes on to speak about his street cred, saying, “Awón werey ma beat è kpà! 😀😀😀,” using Yoruba slang to prove that he’s “difficult” in Yoruba. He ends by joking, “Country Dey quiver, na Denrele you wan beat?! 😀😀,” embedding this moment within the framing of Nigeria. Denrele’s response is a blend of both a defense of his individuality, but also celebration of his legacy.
